§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)said, he did not propose to proceed with the Motion for the suspension for the rest of the Session of the midnight Rule, and the half-past five Rule on Wednesdays, so far as Supply and Ways and Means were concerned, in the hope that they might during the evening or to-morrow arrive at some understanding which met the general convenience and good feeling of the House.
